Healthy Chicken Sausage Rolls

Sometimes when it’s cold outside, and I’m snuggled up on the couch reading my favourite Stephen King horror novel, I think to myself, “you know what would top this off perfectly? Making a HUGE mess in the kitchen and cooking myself some homemade sausage rolls!” So this is how I ended up with these Healthy Chicken Sausage Rolls.

Then I think, “No, that’s a lot of effort, just have a vegemite sandwich and stay nice and quiet, so you don’t wake up your (finally) sleeping children.”

But then I think, “Too late now! You know how great those chicken sausage rolls taste! Get up and make some magic happen!” And so I did.

Ingredients

 

MetricUS Customary

 

1x2x3x

• 2 slices bread crumbs - wholemeal
• 160 grams carrots - peeled and grated as you like
• 2 stalks spring onions - finely chopped
• 1 handful baby spinach - finely chopped
• 4 sprigs parsley
•  
  ⅓ cup nuts - chopped
• 450 grams ground chicken (minced chicken)
•  
  3 sheets puff pastry
• 1 teaspoon mustard - wholegrain
• 1 medium egg - beaten
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds - optional

Instructions

 

• Preheat your oven to about 180 to 200 degrees Celsius, line 2 baking trays with baking paper, and set aside.
• Add your mustard, spring onions, carrot, parsley and nuts to the breadcrumbs in a bowl and mix together. Once it’s all nice and mixed, add in your mince and, once again, mix together.
• Cut each pastry sheet in half and divide your mince mix evenly down the centre, leaving about 2-centimetre of pastry border on either side.
• Fold over the long edges into the middle and smack them together (sometimes, I use some water down the side to help them stick). Roll the sausage roll over so its pastry seam is down, and place it on your lined baking tray.
• Cut the long roll into about 4 even pieces (this will help everything cook evenly) and lightly brush with egg. You can sprinkle sesame seeds on top of you like.
• Bake for about 20 to 40 minutes (keep checking it) or until the pastry is golden brown and cooked through.
